Bummer to hear We hope to see you return. When you do, we will be here with all the support that you will need. Good Luck.

Hey Brendan. Got some solid advice from the troopers above me. I would suggest practice using the Dremel on some spare ABS plastic if you never used one before as it can get a little tricky if you are not careful. An Exacto knife and some Curved lexan scissors can go a long long way for your build but does take a little longer to complete the cutting/trimming. Both methods are great. It will come down to you and your skills with a dremel. Good Luck!

Full Steam ahead. Mis-haps are bound to happen. I had to re-do a few things during my build. It is all a process. I had to re-do the center snap TWICE.

That neck seal looks very comfy! I envy anyone that has the patience to sew! Great Work!

Job was well done on your snap placement!

made the change brother. Good Luck on your EIB application.

Nice. Looks good. Just remember that if you would like more room for mobility that you can remove all of the return edge at the bottom. Nice work. Sent from my HTC U11 using Tapatalk

Hey Robert, Here is what my calves looked like when I was sizing them up. It is always good to trim little at a time to get the perfect fit. But ultimately, this was the end result. Trim little at a time. You want the armor to be snug. Not too tight or too lose. Hope these help.

Congrats!!! Can't wait to see it arrive.

You could try and shorten up your elastic that connects from the bell to the bridge. I had to do that. and works wonders. I have seen troopers use Canvas/non-Elastic webbing but prove to be difficult to attach when suiting up (still capable of doing so though) How many inches is your elastic? What does it look like from the front? Another trick that you may look into that I used, is attaching Velcro to your white webbing and the plastic shoulder strap to keep those two pieces together. Hope this helps.

Nice! This looks amazing!

Hmm Not familiar with that particular kit. Can you post some pics? I As Luc mentioned, it may be easier for you to purchase an R1 Kit.

Looks perfect!

Imperial Attache Outstanding Achievement Award In order to recognize those who have gone above and beyond the call of duty as members of this program, the FISD would like to announce a new accolade: The Attached Outstanding Achievement Award ribbon, (as seen above) will be bestowed to those who consistently exemplify the meaning of Imperial Attaché, which will be added above their EIB or Centurion badge. This distinction will go to those who are not only consistently assisting present Troopers but helping future Troopers on their white armor journey as well. This includes greeting first-time posters, offering advice and guidance, assisting with EIB and Centurion levels and staying active on the FISD and/or their local boards***. Recipients are considered on the basis of a combination of those contributions and been an Attaché for at least one full year. These recipients are awarded based on going above and beyond their Imperial Attaché duties. This Thread will be Pinned and Locked to display the recipients of this award and serve as a reminder to us all of their dedication and unquestioned loyalty to the FISD and our mission.

He is also known to provide valuable input and helpful feedback throughout the forum. Today we salute your unquestioned loyalty, Gerald! __________________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________

Looks good to me, but I would suggest trying them on with an undersuit on. It always fits a little differently versus on bare skin. For reference, here is a good photo of a completed Bicep if you needed to take more return edge off.

I see the front view, but I do not see your shoulder bridges? Maybe I am blind lol. Let's see how far the shoulder bridges go down to your chest.

12 Years!? How awesome is that? I will take some pretzels on my cupcake, please.

Hey AJ! Good to see ya back at the TK build. Beautiful work sir! You are well on your way!

Jordan. Very well done on this armor! Happy to see you get this completed. You should be approved in no time. All the points have been made, I hope to see you submit for your EIB submission very soon. Outstanding job.

wow. Your helmet work makes me want to re-do everything about mine. This is a compliment. Impressive work.

Great Job on those magnets! Going to help you when you are officially ready to use them.

Very Nice work so far Laura!

Hmm If They are what Alan suggests, then I would see them going under the Flagship Eclipse detachment. http://www.theflagshipeclipse.com/ I would browse there. They might have some people looking into this?

Job well done. This looks good to me.
